By the way, thanks to whoevers cars those may be, I remember reading the post about the blue one with the stripes a while ago, and I might add that its a beautiful car. I saved every pic you posted of it, and its one of my personal favorite cars .

PS - Oh, and in my other post "Anyone Have Kosei Wheels" there is another picture of an RX-7 with the Snypers on it, Its white (just like mine ).

The snypers look BAD *** on a dark color car, like jet black, red, or canary yellow like the car in the pic riffraff posted.

Why not just upgrade to GSL-SE suspension/brakes and then choose rims? j/k of course.

I'd say the kosei's. Don't see all that many aftermarket 6-point rims. Way too many 5's though.

If you do get the snyper's, I'd recommend gunmetal over bling-blinging shiny. Then again, I'd never recommend bling-blinging shiny and it's not my car.

Snypers look much better than the Koseis. Gotta have a lip on an old school car.

What are the different weights of the wheels in a 15inch, the koseis are supposed to be light as all get out.

They are about the only 2 that are made anymore. Even still the Kosei's have to be made upon ordering. The K1's are very light in weight, I think something like 12lbs each. Not positive on the weight.

Kosei K-1 15x7 13.5 lb.
Panasport FS 15x7: 15.0 lb.
ROH Snyper 15x7 15.0 lb.

I figured the kosei's were some of the lightest around.

I still opted to sacrifice 6 lbs. for (to me) better looking rims
